We’re proud to introduce you to a little gem we recently discovered. Her name? Avery Cochrane. She is ready to set the world on fire with her style and blazing talent. The rising queer alt-pop/indie pop singer-songwriter from Seattle has already made a good impression on the music scene thanks to her emotive lyrics, powerful sound, and magnetic live performances. The artist resonates with audiences by infusing her personal experiences into her songs.
Her previous release, the explosive queer anthem “Existential Crisis at the Tennis Club,” went viral multiple times on TikTok. Now, her latest single, “Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night,” has already crossed one million views on the platform, promising to make an even bigger splash.
In “Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night,” she delivers incredible vocals paired with equally compelling lyrics. True to her style, she draws from personal experience, and this song is no exception. The themes are relatable and heartfelt. Musically, the track is polished and irresistibly catchy, everything a great pop song should be. All the elements blend seamlessly.
Avery shared, “This song is about not having a strong or prideful sense of self, so you instead morph into whatever you think people want from you, especially in the context of a night out with friends who you suspect don’t truly understand the real you (because you’ve never let them see it!!).”
Avery released a music video alongside the single, serving as the perfect visual companion. It beautifully represents the themes in “Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night” while embracing a playful, dynamic energy.
Avery has crafted an energetic and cinematic experience that will resonate with viewers who don’t usually lean toward pop. The video elevates the song’s narrative by visually capturing themes of transformation and self-discovery. Dynamic scenes and vibrant imagery pull the audience into Avery’s world, where light and shadow mirror the song’s exploration of identity. The choreography and creative direction enhance the storytelling, creating an immersive experience.
“Shapeshifting on a Saturday Night” is a standout track destined to find its place on countless playlists. Avery is set to perform at Bumbershoot later this month alongside Weezer, Tennis, Janelle Monáe, Sylvan Esso, and more. Check out her socials for dates, and don’t miss the chance to catch her live.
